  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Connor Paul 
Kostelac. Connor is a very special young man who has exemplified the 
finest qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part 
in the Boy Scouts of America, Heart of America Council Troop 351, and 
earning the most prestigious award of Eagle Scout.
  Connor has been very active with his troop, participating in many 
Scout activities. Over the five years Connor has been involved with 
Scouting, he has not only earned numerous merit badges, but also the 
respect of his family, peers, and community. Most notably, Connor 
became a Brotherhood member in the Order of the Arrow and earned the 
rank of Brave in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. Connor has also contributed to 
his community through his Eagle Scout project. Connor worked to 
beautify two interior gardens at Mount St. Scholastica Monastery in 
Atchison, KS, through the placement of a St. Francis statue and 
additional landscaping.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Connor Paul 
Kostelac for his accomplishments with the Boy Scouts of America and for 
his efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction of Eagle 
Scout.
